2024 AMA National Fun Fly Barely A Month Away

The 2024 AMA National Fun Fly Is Set For June 28-30

The folks at the Academy of Model Aeronautics tell us that the upcoming 2024 AMA National Fun Fly will be a celebration unlike any other! 

They plan it to be a combination of a traditional fun-fly and a community day and it being a free event doesn't hurt the prospects, at all, for the community of model aviation enthusiasts.

AMA notes that the vision for the 2024 AMA National Fun Fly, set for June 28-30, is to foster a renewed spirit for model  pilots, with enhanced community engagement. They envision this event being a dynamic activity that celebrates the thrill of model aviation, yet one that highlights the importance of nurturing the next generation of aviators (and face it, quite of few of us in big-time aviation got our start this way-- including ANN's Jim Campbell). 

There will be free open flying at Site 3 of the International Aeromodeling Center (IAC) in Muncie, Indiana, throughout the event. Pilots can also find some great deals at the swap shop and enjoy fellowship with their comrades.

Through exciting and captivating experiences and hands-on activities, they aim to ignite the spark of curiosity in young minds, encouraging them to explore the fascinating world of full-scale aviation and model aeronautics.

At this year’s fun-fly, visitors will have an opportunity to try several hands-on activities, such as flying model aircraft, operating model boats, and racing RC cars over a dirt track. There will be drone racing and drone delivery demonstrations, and rocket and airplane building stations. After building a rocket or model airplane, attendees will have the opportunity to launch their creations. Visitors will also have the chance to visit the National Model Aviation Museum, the largest model aviation museum in the world (and well worth the visit alone -- Ed).

University professors will be at the IAC to talk about the future of aviation and all things Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)-related.
